We haven't had rain in ages, its hard to belive the green on our golf course hasn't became known as a Brown, because everyother place with "grass" is brown.

I live in south Texas, and it's a fairly nice place in the winter and fall, however, it's humid in the spring, and just plain HOT in the summer! However, this summer was weird, since it rained a lot, and we are well over the yearly average now.

JDog

man, and too think I thought Texas was a desert basically. ;D

That's just the steryotype of Texas. West Texas is fairly dry, but the eastern half is pretty green most of the year, unless there's a drought. Then the grass turns rough and brown.

JDog

Yeah, normally here in old fairview michigan, its usually wet, but for some reason, its all dry this year. which is not normal.

I live in Washington. The climate doesn't change severly. 30's (lowest) in winter and 90's (highest) in the summer. We get a lot of rain it makes the air quality nice and generally keeps wind cooler.

JDog

I think michigan's lowest is like below zero ;D

MatthewThief

it gets way below zero here

I live in Southern Texas, as well... Rockport/Fulton, a tiny little art (and drinking) town that's so small we had to shove two towns together. I live on a peninsula just outside of the city limits, though. My grandma's house is in Wetlands, and it's even further out.

It's hot and humid...

ALWAYS.

And yes, it has rained a lot. In San Antonio, we were leaving a Burger King, and a gigantic swarm of locusts landed on our truck while we were eating; we had to leap into the truckbed and drive around in circles to get them off so we could get in.

By the way, there is no such thing as a Wendy's or a Burger King here. Not a single (decent) burger joint. We have to go to Whataburger or, god forbid, McDonald's.

And for being an art town, there is not a single place to even buy markers. We used to have one, but then LOL WALGREENS. ^^ I hate having to travel for half an hour to reach a Hobby Lobby after being dragged everywhere else by my parents just so I can buy more paint.

As my sister stated, we live in Nevada. (It's pronounced Nuh-va-duh, by the way, not Neh-vaw-duh.) So far, we've had no rain whatsoever this spring and summer, and the once or twice it did rain, there was just barely enough to make the sidewalk wet, but it evaporated as soon as the sun came out. Winters are a hit-or-miss, snow-wise, but when it snows, it's usually pretty decent. We once had snow over three feet deep! That was so much fun! I remember we had to go to my Grandpa's house to get the snow off the roof of the barn. We could literally jump off of the roof and not get hurt with all the snow! It seems like we alternate every year between having snow and not having snow at Christmas. Summer usually gets pretty hot, but having no precipitation at all this year, combined with this area's tendency towards high winds and all of the dry lightning storms we've been having makes us a good candidate for wildfires. We've had several major ones around here this year alone. I guess this pretty much tells you what kind of climate we have.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

JDog

We barely get any rain here, but when it does, it doesn't stop Untill like the next day. ;D

You said that better than me, man! Eh oh well. I suck at describing things.

JDog

We finally got alot of rain, well, normally it wasn't much, but compared to what we haven't been getting, it was a lot!

MagmarFire

I heard from my grandpa that it was a half-inch of rain. Not much, but certainly not bad compared to what we've (FYI, I was visiting up there at the time; "we've" is appropriate) been getting.



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

Im pretty sure I pretty much just said that, in different words though..
